To copy xp pro from the cd, just use clonecd and use the data profile. It will take 5 mins and will work perfectly. I used my plex premium and a made up profile but it will work just the same. I had no problems and nor should you if it’s a legitimate disc and not a copy or a download :cop:

thanks mr burrows ill give it a try…so whats the deal with copying a copy?

It’s not very legal!!! unless you own the original, however i strongly doubt that if you are going to copy a copy :confused: otherwise you’d just use the original, and get a much better result.

Plus a copy of a copy will always be a degraded version to the original as you don’t know how well the copy was copied…

If you get what i mean :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: LOL it must be all this festive drink i’m being forced to have :bow: :bow:

but a copy of a copy uses the same method as above? clonecd?

LOL, unfortunately as you have just shot yourself in the foot, the best advice i can give you is to buy it, and then you won’t have to worry about making a “backup” :rolleyes:
